Diana Van Leuven, Copyright Business Wire 2009. NEW YORK (Reuters) - A jailed New York hedge fund manager, accused in February of overstating asset values by hundreds of millions of dollars while defrauding investors, has been indicted on several charges, U.S prosecutors said on Thursday.

Indians Manager Eric Wedge is the king of cliches. Grinding, battling, taking one day at a time, tomorrow is another day, and we're close, are all phrases used by the skipper.Well, Wedge decided against using any of these today as he pretty much laid into Rafael Betancourt after he blew yet another game for the Tribe. Betancourt was abused by his fastball staying up in the zone and his inability to pitch inside.This is out of the ordinary for Wedge, as he usually spits out hyperbole. Maybe the manager shouldn't have pulled out Rafael Perez when he put two runners on in an obvious sacrifice situation?The first runner got on due to a "Mandy" Marte error, and the second runner reached on a bloop broken bat hit. With no outs and the White Sox trailing by two, you would figure Ozzie Guillen would have Orlando Cabrera bunt, and he did.Then with one out and runners on second and third, lefty A.J Pierzynski was due up. Why not keep the lefty-on-lefty matchup and force the Sox to make a move? Well, Betancourt proceeded to give up back-to-back doubles and the game was over right there.Why bring this up? Wedge is not the reason this team can't hit or pitch out of the bullpen He is becoming frustrated and feeling a bit helpless. That is not a good sign for Tribe fans when the usually stoic Wedge is fuming publicly.I don't have the answer to the Indians problems, but a deal for a polished hitter would at least shake things up.Here were some of the Highlights:Aaron Laffey: 6 IP, 7 hits, 1 earned run.

Pitched out of trouble a few times, continues to show grittiness and calmness on the mound. Should not even be considered in any trades, as he looks to be a staple in the rotation for years to come, especially with the injury to Adam Miller (my friend Ryan says he told us so).Jhonny Peralta: 4-13, two home runs At least he drove in a runner than himself today Still sucks at shortstop, but hit the ball hard Wednesday. Hopefully, his flailing away at third-strike curveballs in the dirt are over.Tuesday's Game: They won a game, which was a nice change of pace.Here are some areas of concern:Grady Sizemore: 2-13 Regressed a bit from a solid weekend. If this team can ever find a leadoff hitter, Sizemore needs to be batting third to alleviate the pressures of getting on base.Rafael Betancourt: Blew the game Wednesday, giving up back to back doubles His control has been off and on. Need him to straighten himself out before the season is lost.Ben Francisco: 2-13. Seems to have caught "the sickness" from the rest of the lineup.

It is a sad state of affairs when a guy who was not good enough to start the season on the 25-man roster is now our No 3 hitter He may be pressing. Also his right-field defense has been shaky at best.An 11-game road trip begins Friday in Kansas City as Cliff Lee takes on Gil Meche. There are still 109 games left, so I guess anything can happen.

WASHINGTON, DC, Apr 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- To help Americans continue to achieve their dreams of homeownership,there must be a balance between safeguarding consumers in the lendingprocess and ensuring reasonable access to mortgage capital. That is themessage that the National Association of Realtors(R) delivered toCongress today, reiterating its support of comprehensive legislation toreform mortgage lending.At a House Financial Services Committee hearing, NAR President CharlesMcMillan testified that reform to the mortgage lending system is needed torestore consumer confidence in the economy and the housing market."Historically low mortgage rates and a significant tax credit forfirst-time home buyers have begun to bring people back to the housingmarket.

However, we need wholesale reform of the mortgage lending sectorto give consumers the protection they need and the confidence necessary toexpedite the housing recovery," said McMillan, a broker with ColdwellBanker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth.The recently introduced Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act of2009, H.R. 1728, contains many of the reforms NAR has been seeking, butMcMillan cautioned against overregulation. "We must strike an appropriatebalance between safeguarding consumers and making sure they have access tomortgages at a reasonable cost. Undue regulation of the mortgage marketcould be as harmful to consumers as the lack of regulation that led toirresponsible lending and other abuses," McMillan said. "We must be surethere are no unintended consequences here."NAR believes the current definition of mortgage originator as "any personwho assists a consumer in obtaining or applying to obtain a residentialmortgage loan" is too broad, since Realtors(R) as part of their normallevel of service provide advice, counsel and assistance across all aspectsof the real estate transaction. In addition, NAR supports the safe harborprovisions in the legislation, but as written, these provisions may be toonarrow."The safe harbor should include more products than 30-year fixed-ratemortgages.
